We haven't seen scary yet.
Don't get me going on that...just be glad I made the death jab available...DJT ?
Very good...I like and agree...OTC is a gem...will rebound bigly.
I hope so, brother Tom.
They're the chosen to destroy the USA for communism. Be prepared, for our nation has left God and embraced Satan. If you think I'm crazy, you're totally mistaken.
Our country is getting ripped apart and totally divided.
I've heard hope isn't a strategy in the OTC, maybe so, but, I've also witnessed millions made in the OTC. So much for hope, eh 😎
That bodes well for big runners like I think $DLOC will be.
I'm holding for much higher 😊
Learning the game takes time.
What a joke eh ?
Looks like a huge move is about to happen.

We're being overthrown and taken over in our own country, we the US citizens.
BlackRock Just Suffered Another Major Blow
https://truthpress.com/news/blackrock-just-suffered-another-major-blow/
As state leaders continue to recognize and take action to mitigate investment risk caused by woke ESG — environmental, social and governance — policies, the Texas State Board of Education has delivered a significant blow to the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, due to its embrace and prioritization of “green” energy and attempts to force a transition to a “net-zero” carbon emission economy.
Led by Chairman Aaron Kinsey, the Texas State Board of Education found that BlackRock was not in compliance with a provision in Texas state code that prohibits state investment in companies that boycott energy companies, a practice that Kinsey found BlackRock’s emphasis on ESG has created.
As a result, the Permanent School Fund (PSF) took action on Tuesday, notifying BlackRock that it was divesting a whopping $8.5 billion from the firm — the largest single divestment from BlackRock since state leaders began rejecting asset management firms with values that run opposite their states’ priorities.
A release from the State Board of Education explains the legal basis for the divestment and how BlackRock ran afoul of Texas code:
Today, PSF leadership delivered an official notice to global asset manager BlackRock terminating its financial management of approximately $8.5 billion in Texas’ assets. Terminating BlackRock’s contract ensures PSF’s full compliance with Texas law.
The PSF’s relationship with BlackRock was not in compliance with Texas Government Code Section 809, commonly referred to as Senate Bill 13, which prohibits state investment in companies like Blackrock that boycott energy companies.
BlackRock’s dominant and persistent leadership in the ESG movement immeasurably damages our state’s oil & gas economy and the very companies that generate revenues for our PSF. Texas and the PSF have worked hard to grow this fund to build Texas’ schools. BlackRock’s destructive approach toward the energy companies that this state and our world depend on is incompatible with our fiduciary duty to Texans.
Today represents a major step forward for the Texas PSF and our state as a whole. The PSF will not stand idle as our financial future is attacked by Wall Street. This bold action helps ensure our PSF remains in fact permanent and will continue to support bright futures and opportunities for generations of Texas students.
Kinsey’s move at the Texas State Board of Education follows divestment actions from numerous other states whose financial officers and attorneys general found that ESG-focused asset managers were using state funds in a manner that contradicted their states’ interests and economic activity.
As Townhall has previously reported, Arizona, Missouri, and Florida are among the states that have also taken action to divest state funds from BlackRock.
“Today’s bold step by Aaron Kinsey and the Permanent School Fund of Texas, in accordance with state law, is a massive blow against the scam of ESG,” emphasized Derek Kreifels, the CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, in a statement to Townhall. “This is what happens when public fiduciaries stand up for those to whom they owe a duty, instead of bowing down to Wall Street’s asset managers who continue to abuse their position in the market to advance radical ideologies. No matter whether it’s called ‘stakeholder capitalism’ or ‘transition investing,’ if the intent of an asset manager is to end America’s oil and gas industry then they can expect continued pushback from conscientious public officials looking out for their constituents,” Kreifels pledged.
As Kreifels noted, ESG policies are used as an end-run around Americans’ elected representatives to force changes that mirror President Biden and Democrats’ attempts to implement an energy “transition” as part of the president’s pledge to “end” fossil fuels.
“Under Larry Fink’s leadership, BlackRock has been misusing client funds to push a political agenda for years,” reminded Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers’ Research. “Nowhere was that more egregious than in Texas, where BlackRock was simultaneously trying to destroy the domestic oil and gas industry while managing funds that depended on royalties derived from that very same industry,” he emphasized. “A more flagrant violation of fiduciary duty is difficult to imagine. By divesting $8 billion from BlackRock, Chairman Kinsey and the Permanent School Fund are not only fulfilling their role as fiduciaries to one of the largest education funds in the country but sending a clear message to Wall Street elites that people can no longer be bullied into complying with ESG’s destructive ideology,” Hild observed. “I look forward to seeing many more states follow suit.”
Both Kreifels and Hild have been leading the charge to raise awareness of the adverse impacts of ESG-driven financial management and are to credit for multiple Wall Street leaders seeking to distance themselves from the term “ESG” even as they continue to advance its principles. In a recent SEC filing covered by Townhall, BlackRock said that states and leaders — such as Texas and Kinsey — taking action to prohibit state agencies from doing business with entities boycotting certain industries “adversely impact BlackRock’s business.”
Still, BlackRock told other outlets on Tuesday that it “is helping millions of Texans invest and save for retirement” and pointed to investments in “Texas-based companies, infrastructure and municipalities, including $125 billion invested in the energy sector.”
Roger that.
US Supreme Court lets Texas border enforcement law take effect
https://share.newsbreak.com/6frfsxyf
By John Kruzel and Andrew Chung
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday let a Republican-backed Texas law take effect allowing state law enforcement authorities to arrest people suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, rejecting a request by President Joe Biden's administration.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority, and its three liberal justices dissented on Tuesday. The administration had asked the justices to freeze a judicial order allowing the Texas law to take effect while its challenge to the statute proceeds in the lower courts.
The law violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by interfering with the U.S. government's power to regulate immigration, the administration has argued.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott last December signed the law, known as SB 4, authorizing state law enforcement to arrest people suspected of entering the United States illegally, giving local officers powers long delegated to the U.S. government.
Abbott said the law was needed due to Biden's failure to enforce federal laws criminalizing illegal entry or re-entry, telling a Dec. 18 press conference that "Biden's deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a dissent joined by fellow liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, said the Supreme Court's ruling would invite "further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement." Liberal Justice Elena Kagan wrote a separate dissent.
The Democratic president's handling of the record numbers of migrants caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border during his presidency has drawn sharp criticism from Republicans. Abbott and other Republicans have said Biden should have kept the restrictive policies of former President Donald Trump, their party's candidate challenging Biden in the Nov. 5 U.S. election.
STATE CRIMES
The Texas law made illegal entry or re-entry into Texas a state crime, with penalties ranging from 180 days in jail to 20 years in prison. Under it, Texas magistrate judges will be required to order migrants to return to Mexico, with up to 20-year sentences for those who refuse to comply.
Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett filed an opinion concurring in Tuesday's decision, explaining that the justices were being asked to upend a lower appeals court's "administrative stay" of a judicial decision blocking the law - a measure that is meant to be short-lived.
"So far as I know, this court has never reviewed the decision of a court of appeals to enter - or not enter - an administrative stay. I would not get into the business," wrote Barrett, who was joined by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Justice Department sued in January to block the measure, which was originally set to take effect on March 5. Biden administration lawyers argued that it violates federal law and constitutional provisions giving the U.S. government the power to regulate commerce with foreign countries and among states, and runs afoul of a 2012 Supreme Court precedent.
Texas-based U.S. District David Ezra on Feb. 29 sided with the administration and agreed to preliminarily block Texas officials from enforcing the law, saying that it "threatens the fundamental notion that the United States must regulate immigration with one voice."
But the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals paused Ezra's ruling in an order that would have let the Texas law take effect on March 10, prompting the administration to file an emergency request to the Supreme Court.
Justice Samuel Alito, who handles certain emergency matters involving cases from a group of states including Texas, on March 4 halted the 5th Circuit ruling - and thus the law - from taking effect, giving the Supreme Court more time to consider the matter.
Texas has pursued a range of measures to deter people who cross illegally under its Operation Lone Star, including deploying National Guard troops to the border, blocking migrants with concertina wire and installing a floating barrier over a stretch of the Rio Grande.
Republicans in February scuttled a bipartisan Senate deal that would have bolstered border security and tightened immigration laws after Trump pushed members of his party to reject it. Biden said blame for the bill's failure lay with Republican lawmakers who bowed to political pressure from Trump who "thinks it's bad for him politically."
An analysis of exit polls conducted by Edison Research following primary election voting in early March showed alarm among many voters over the situation along the border. Many called it their top voting issue. Reuters/Ipsos polling showed Biden's public approval level at 37% as of Feb. 28.

Donald Trump Renews Fight to Remove Fani Willis From Case

McDonald’s Restaurant Goes Viral For Incredible Jesus-Themed Easter Display
https://truthpress.com/news/mcdonalds-restaurant-goes-viral-for-incredible-jesus-themed-easter-display/
McDonald’s franchise restaurants across Tennessee have decorated their windows with religious symbols, featuring illustrations of the empty tomb, crosses, and the proclamation “He is risen.”
The initiative, spearheaded by franchise owners Tony and Gina Wolfe, has sparked surprise and admiration within the local community.
The move was first brought to public attention by Burton S. Staggs, the news director of GM Tennessee River Valley News, who shared a photo of one of the decorated restaurant windows on his Facebook page.
“He is Risen!!! Happy Easter!!! Multiple McDonald’s in the Middle TN region share this message. While many companies are opting to stay away from holiday-specific decorations, a Tennessee McDonald’s franchisee is embracing them. These restaurants are owned by Tony and Gina Wolfe,” he wrote in a caption.
Staggs also noted that the owners also recognize the true meaning of Christmas, displaying, “His name is Jesus,” on their McDonald’s locations during the holiday season.
While religious holidays can be sensitive territory for business owners, the Wolfe family adopts a different approach when it comes to incorporating religious festivities into their franchise locations.
Other companies treat holidays differently. According to Fox News, Google, for example, had been receiving much flak over ignoring Easter and Christmas in its Doodles.
“So Google has a doodle for every obscure ‘woke’ person/event imaginable, but nothing for Easter?” Paul Joseph Watson wrote on X.
Google explained to Fox, “We don’t have Doodles for religious holidays, in line with our current Doodle guidelines. Doodles may appear for some non-religious celebrations that have grown out of religious holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, Holi’s Festival of Colors, Tu B’Av and the December holiday period, but we don’t include religious imagery or symbolism as part of these.”
The McDonalds’ Easter display in Tennessee has garnered positive attention and sparked conversations among customers and the broader community.
Comments on social media reflect appreciation for the Wolfe family’s dedication to its beliefs.
“I’ve been to this McDonald’s and they’re really kind in there too…,” one user commented under Staggs’ post.
Another user wrote, “That’s what I love about the South …whenever we traveled down the people were so friendly and there were so many people that love the Lord and weren’t afraid to say so. As soon as we came North over the Mason Dixon line it was a whole different story.”
“Thank you for not being afraid to offend someone. This is truly the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time. Wish I lived there. I would definitely be a loyal customer.”
According to the official website, Tony and Gina Wolfe, second-generation McDonald’s franchise owners and operators, have previously been recognized for their local philanthropy.
The Wolfe’s franchise has been honored with multiple awards from McDonald’s Corporation, including the prestigious Ronald Award.
“It’s about people who are behind the counter and people who are your loyal customers and friends in this community. It’s a blessing for us to be involved in the community and give back,” Gina Wolfe said in a statement.
Biden Screamed And Swore During Private Meeting After Being Told He Is Losing To Trump
https://truthpress.com/news/biden-screamed-and-swore-during-private-meeting-after-being-told-he-is-losing-to-trump/
President Joe Biden is anxious and angry about his reelection campaign as former President Donald Trump shows strength in swing states and nationally.
Biden has been “second-guessing” travel and messaging for his bid for four more years amid other frustrations, according to a report from NBC News.
The report cites several people familiar with the Biden campaign to illustrate the frustrations the president has as his 2020 opponent appears on track to beat him, according to most polls.
Biden was reportedly “seething” after he was told his handling of the war in Gaza had caused poll numbers in Georgia and Michigan to drop, with the report alleging he shouted and swore. He has also felt “cocooned.” The president wants to speak more with voters and has been frustrated by restraints placed on him.
In preparing his State of the Union address, Biden attempted to eliminate rhetorical flourishes to explain his accomplishments instead.
The address, which was earlier this month, was fiery and saw Biden interact with a rowdy congressional audience. Biden took advantage of the stage as one of the most watched political events of the year to make his case for why voters should support him instead of Trump in November.
Biden has remained behind Trump in most national polls, in stark contrast to four years ago, when Biden dominated Trump in nearly every poll. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Trump leading Biden by 1.7 points nationally, while the former president also leads the president in most swing-state polls.
Despite the poor polling figures, Biden’s campaign has amassed strong fundraising numbers, bringing in $53 million in February, while Trump is set to spend a significant amount of his campaign funds on legal fees.
The former president also faces the prospect of a conviction in one of his four criminal indictments, which could be a boost to Biden’s reelection hopes.
